Ten nights of rodeo. The National Finals Rodeo runs December 3–12, 2026 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. If you're heading out for NFR week, or watching from home, this guide covers the boots, hats, jeans and shirts we carry for it, fitted by folks who know boots and hats.
Western boots
Start with the boots. Pick the boot you can stand in for a long night in the arena and a longer walk back to the hotel.
